A tab group is a group of controls in which input focus can be moved by using the arrow keys. Each control that can gain focus has a unique number defined in the TabIndex property (if you enter the numbers PowerCOBOL ensures that no other control has that number). A tab group starts with the first control that has the TabGroup property set to True, and contains all the controls with higher numbers up to (but not including) the next control with the TabGroup property set to True.

The TabStop property determines whether focus can be gained by the control by use of the tab key. It operates independently of the TabGroup property.
